Volume I - The Internal Energy Market

ISBN/ISSN: 9789077644003

275.00€

ird Internal Market package marks a watershed in the EU's efforts to introduce effective liberalisation of its electricity and gas markets. A real understanding of this very complicated legislative package is vital for all energy companies operating in the EU, as well as major energy purchasers and advisors. This new and fully updated fourth edition includes in-depth contributions on common electricity and gas wholesale markets, third party access, unbundling of TSOs and DSOs, National Regulatory Authorities, ACER, regulation of crossborder electricity exchanges, Gas regulation, Retail market development and public service objectives, derogations and exemptions, common network rules, security of supply, reporting and review of the Directives, implementation and entry into force, the internal energy market and neighbouring countries and an introduction to the energy market of the US. The fourth edition of this highly acclaimed and leading title on this subject is written by the key Commission officials and practitioners.

style="text-decoration: underline;">Part 1: The contribution of oil to the security of
energy supplies. Contrary to a widely shared
perception that oil is an insecure source of energy
supply, careful analysis shows that oil supply and
logistics are very resilient to external shocks and
potential confl ict. The drive towards decarbonisation
may mean that oil demand will peak before the
middle of the century. The analysis covers the
recent evolution of global oil production and shows
how this has further reduced the impact of resource
nationalism and political instability on oil
exports.. The logistics of oil have further improved,
and preoccupations about such phenomena as
piracy almost completely disappeared. Greater
elasticity of oil supply relative to price is also
impacting also on the functioning of the global oil
market, increasing its responsiveness to demand
and supply fundamentals

Part 2: The contribution of natural gas to secure and
cost-effective decarbonisation of Europe’s energy
supply. Persistent tensions in EU-Russia relations
have led to signifi cant misgivings about the security
of gas supplies. However, careful and systematic
analysis shows that in fact the security of Europe’s
gas supplies has consistently improved in the past
two decades thanks to the success of the process of
creation of a single, transparent and competitive
European gas market. Notwithstanding two signifi -
cant episodes of interruption of Russian gas supplies
to Europe, the diversifi cation of Russian export routes
and belated acceptance on the part of Gazprom of the
inevitability of complying with EU rules has completely
changed supply conditions. Globally an upsurge of
investment in LNG projects is leading to the formation
of a global gas market in which cargoes can fl exibly
be redirected to accommodate unforeseen developments.
In the context of Europe’s drive towards
decarbonisation, gas provides a fl exible source that
can compensate of the intermittency of new renewables
and substitute for coal with substantial reduction
in emissions. Unless European attitudes towards
nuclear change, total elimination of reliance on fossil
fuels for power production is impossible and gas will
have an important role to play.
